Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Oscar-winning Japanese actress Miyoshi Umeki is Red Skelton's guest on this episode from January 15, 1963. In the comedy sketch "Have Rickshaw-Will Travel," Clem Kadiddlehopper (Red) can't understand why his pumpkins are making noises-until he opens one up, and out pops an oriental refugee (Miyoshi). In the Silent Spot, Jules Munshin plays a mad scientist, with Skelton as his newly-created monster. As a bonus, Miyoshi Umecki sings "Glocca Morra"-and, thankfully, no one laughs when she pronounces it "Grocca Morra".
